Fabio Massimo Capogrosso (Perugia, 1984) won the David di Donatello 2026 for Best Composer for his score to "Primavera," the directorial debut of Damiano Michieletto, loosely based on Tiziano Scarpa's "Stabat Mater." The soundtrack blends original composition with Baroque repertoire, centered on Vivaldi, performed by I Solisti Aquilani, Daniele Orlando, and the Orchestra and Chorus of Teatro La Fenice. Capogrosso described music as a space of freedom and discipline, and credited Marco Bellocchio and Francesca Calvelli for introducing him to film music through "Esterno Notte" and "Rapito."
